Surrounded by wooded hills and flowery clearings, lying at 160 m altitude, it has got a moderate continental climate with sub-mountain elements.

Nature endowed the place with several curative mineral water springs (one springing out of the very bed of the Crni Timok), but only four of them are being used.
The remains of Felix Romuliana (3rd century), the Roman imperial town, indicate that these healing thermal waters had been used as early as Roman times.
However, the oldest known mention in writing of these mineral waters was left by baron Herder in his notes dated 1835, related to the research of mineral treasures of Serbia; the first therapeutic baths were registered in 1890. Building and landscaping of the baths was commenced in 1920, while the first detailed analysis of the water was performed by prof. Sima Laznic in 1922. The first serious tapping of the wells was made in 1925.
According to their temperature (38° – 43° C) and chemical composition, the waters are ranked among earth-alkaline thermae, i.e. acratic waters used in treating numerous illnesses, by bathing and drinking.
